Ya Devi

Devi, the Mother Goddess is the symbol of all the auspicious and true qualities which define the Supreme Being. Of all her forms, Devi Durga is the ultimate representation of infinite power, purity and strength of purpose, which resides within the divine essence of every being. In Hindu symbology, negative qualities within the individual such as excessive ego, anger, attachment etc are presented metaphorically as demons. The narrative of Devi Durga's destruction of these demons epitomizes the inner spiritual struggle of the individual soul as it strives to conquer ignorance and having gained victory realizes the Supreme power of one's own Self.

Om Jayanti Mangala Kaali Bhadra Kali Kapalini
Durga Kshama Shivaa Dhaatri Svaha Svadha namostute
Om. She Who Conquers Over All, All-Auspicious,
the remover of Darkness,
the Excellent One Beyond Time,
the bearer of the Skulls of Impure thought
the reliever of difficulties, loving, forgiveness,
supporter of the Universe, take the oblations of the
devotee who is one with you,
take the oblations of ancestral praise,
We bow to you.
